Bleu de Chanel Parfum

How it moves

You meet grapefruit, lemon, mint and bergamot at the door. Then the heart turns up — ginger, nutmeg, jasmine and iris — and the whole thing slows down. It dries down to sandalwood, cedar, Tonka Bean, vetiver and patchouli, close to the skin and hard to forget.

Who made it

Olivier Polge composed it in 2018, for Chanel in France. The richest concentration of Chanel's blockbuster masculine, adding sandalwood and tonka depth to the familiar citrus-incense frame.
